• transfer data from the Model 120D system to a computer

• use programs developed on a computer and stored ahead of time for later field operations

Remote Unit Input

The Remote Unit Input provides the connection port for the cable from the Model 120D Remote Unit.

Auxiliary 12-Volt DC Power Input

If the internal battery is low and no 120/220-volt external power source is available, the Model 120D can run on DC power from an external source such as a skid-mounted battery, truck battery or dashboard cigarette lighter. Two adapter cables are provided for DC-power operation.

MRO/SRO Input

The MRO/SRO interface cable connects the Model 120D to a MRO. The MRO/SRO Input allows the Model 120D to act as a computer interface for tools with a data storage capability.


External Power Indicator

The External Power Indicator will be lit whenever sufficient power is applied to the Auxiliary 12-Volt DC Power Input or the 12-Volt DC Charger Input.

12-Volt DC Charger Input

The 12-Volt DC Charger Input allows you to recharge the internal battery from a DC power source using the 120/220-volt auto-switching AC/DC adapter module.

Computer Interface

The Computer Interface connector enables the supplied telephone cord to connect the Host Unit to a computer for data transfer and communication.

Model 120DRU Remote Unit

The Model 120DHU translates line speed from the mechanical wheel counter on the wireline skid unit into digital data information. It also translates the pressure measurement from the Model 120DRW Remote Weight Unit into digital data weight information. It then transmits the data to the Model 120DHU Host Unit.

Model 120DRW Remote Weight

The Model 120DRW Remote Weight unit collects hydraulic pressure information from the wireline skid unit. The information is converted to weight information so that the calculated depth and spped can be compensated for the stretching of the down hole cable.

Additional Parts Required You will need the appropriate size and number of tees, nipples, and pipe in order to connect the Model 120D to the hydraulic system of the wireline skid unit. For most hydraulic systems, you will need at least a 1¼-inch tee and 2½-inch nipple, with several 2-inch and 4-inch lengths of threaded pipe. Refer to “Remote Weight to Hydraulic Pressure System" Remote Weight to Hydraulic Pressure System on page 2-4.


Cable Routing and Connections The procedure for routing cables and connecting the components of the Model 120D depends on how the system is to be used. For example, the Host Unit can be operated from an AC or DC power source, but requires different adapters for each.

Also, if the system is only used for monitoring depth and weight, it is not necessary to hook up a computer.

Note

Each of the cable connectors has a corresponding plug on one of the Model 120D components. When hooking up the cables, make sure that you are joining the correct plug and connector. Do not force a connection.

Hooking Up for Operation This section explains how to hook up the Model 120D components and power for operation. The hook-up procedure is the same for the Informer, Stand Alone, and Check Operational Status modes. It is also the same for the Memory Read-Out (MRO) Mode and Computer Mode, except for the MRO and/or computer. The step-by-step hook-up procedure for the Model 120D components begins on Page 2-3.

Remote Unit to Host Unit

Connect the Remote Unit to the Host Unit with the six-pin, 25-foot cable in the following manner:

1. On the Host Unit, locate the input socket on the side of the unit labled Remote Unit Input. Locate the six-pin connector marked with a red dash.

2. Align the red dash on the cable plug with the red dot on the input socket, then push the plug in until the collar clicks into place.


3. The other end of the cable plugs into the Remote Unit. This plug has a key on it that matches a slot in the Remote Unit input socket. Align the key with the slot in the socket, insert the plug completely, then turn the plug slip ring clockwise until it locks.

Remote Weight to Remote Unit

Connect the Remote Weight to the Remote Unit with the four-pin, 25-foot cable using the following procedure:

Operational Guidelines Before operating the Model 120D, please note the following guidelines.

Charging the Host Unit Internal Battery

The Model 120D Host Unit will operate for 48 hours on its internal battery if the battery is fully charged and the backlight remains off. With the backlight on, the unit will operate for 12 hours, then automatically turn off the backlight and operate for 12 more hours.

To charge the battery, open the front cover and plug the 100/240V AC/DC adapter into the connection on the front panel labeled 12VDC Charger. The Universal Adapter Cable can also be used to connect the 100/240V AC/DC adapter to the Auxiliary Power 12VDC input. Let the battery charge for at least 24 hours.


The internal battery should be charged after each use. You first should discharge the battery through continuous operation until the unit shuts down. This will increase the amount of stored charge in the battery. Charging the battery without discharging it will decrease the amount of power the batter will supply.

Warning

Do not store the Host Unit in a discharged state. Even if the unit is off, it will continue to consume a small amount of power for sensing the push buttons. The battery will also continue to self-discharge. If the internal battery is allowed to discharge below 4VDC, it will be damaged and the battery will no longer hold a charge. Then the internal battery will need to be replaced by Panex authorized personnel. The Host Unit should be discharged and recharged once every 6 months to avoid damaging the internal battery.

Maximum Line Speed

The recommended maximum line speed when operating the Model 120D is 1,000 feet per minute with no electronic gauge attached to the line. Exceeding the maximum line speed recommendation decreases the life span of the Model 120DRU Remote Unit and can damage it.

Operating Modes �� Computer Mode ..................................................................................... 2 �� Informer Mode ..................................................................................... 12 �� Stand Alone Mode................................................................................ 19 This chapter explains the three Model 120D modes—the Computer Mode, Informer Mode, and Stand Alone Mode. In each mode, the Model 120D can execute instructions and perform real-time monitoring of wireline depth, speed, and weight. The Computer Mode is the only mode that can be used to program the Model 120D with instructions. In the Informer Mode, you cannot change the instruction defaults. In the Stand Alone Mode, the instruction defaults can be changed. Refer to the following table for differentiating information on the three modes:

Modes

Operation Computer Informer Stand Alone

Program new instructions to the Model 120D internal memory

Yes No No

Edit Run Values from the Model 120D

No No Yes

Collect wireline data on a memory card (during Run operations)

No Yes Yes

Collect wireline data in Model 120D internal memory

Yes No No

The following sections guide you through the procedures for operating in each mode.


Computer Mode You can program the Model 120D with instructions from the two Computer Mode types—Linked and Non-linked.

The Linked Computer Mode writes instructions to the internal memory of a Model 120D. This is possible via a communications cable that connects a PC computer running MTOS3 (or later) with the Model 120D. This mode bypasses use of a memory card.

The Non-linked Computer Mode first writes instructions to a memory card and then writes the instructions from the memory card to the internal memory of a Model 120D. This allows you to program several Model 120D systems with a single set of programming instructions.

Neither the Linked nor the Non-linked mode requires that the computer be connected during field operations.

The Computer Mode differs from the Stand Alone and Informer modes in how wireline data is stored. In the Computer Mode, collected wireline data is stored in the Model 120D internal memory. In the Stand Alone and Informer modes, collected wireline data is stored on the memory card.

Follow the instructions in "Linked Computer Mode" or "Non-linked Computer Mode" below.

Linked Computer Mode

When you operate in the Linked Computer Mode, you must perform the following basic operations:

Store Instructions Use a computer running MTOS3 (or later) to set up program instructions and store them in a worksheet or file. See Chapter 5, “Program Instructions.”

Stand Alone Mode The Stand Alone Mode monitors wireline depth, speed, and weight and stores this information on a memory card. A memory card must be inserted in the Model 120D for the Stand Alone Mode to function.

Before beginning operation, you must check, and edit if necessary, the Run Values and check the operational status. It is important to note that the Run Values can not be adjusted from the Informer Mode. This is the only difference between the Stand Alone and Informer modes. Run Values are:

• Data measurement units—sets the units of measurement to English or Metric.

• Wheel Size—sets the circumference of the wheel in the wireline skid unit's mechanical wheel counter determines speed and depth data delivered by the counter to the Model 120DRU Remote Unit, which sends this data to the Model 120DHU Host Unit. The correct wheel size must be entered to ensure that the speed and depth data are correct.

• Weight Factor—sets a numerical relationship between the weight indicator sensor pressure and the the correct weight. In order for the Model 120D weight function to perform properly, the Weight Factor must be correct. The Weight Factor is the resulting value set by the Adjust Weight Span procedure discussed in Chapter 3. If you know the value for this specific wireline skid unit, you can enter the value. It can be calculated using a complicated mathematical formula. However, the best procedure is to use the Adjust Weight Span procedure discussed in Chapter 3.

• Edit Time—sets the date and time.

Checking operational status allows you to determine whether:


• mechanical connections are correct

• data readings are correct

• data is being recorded accurately

• depth and weight are properly calibrated before operation begins

A-2 Model 120D Wireline Data Recorder

Odometer Encoder The Odometer Encoder located inside the Model 120DRU does not require maintenance, but its life span is approximately 15 million revolutions or about two years. To ensure optimum operation of the Model 120DRU, Panex recommends returning the Model 120DRU to Panex every two years for replacement of the Odometer Encoder.

Odometer Cable Assembly Once a month, remove the inner cable from the odometer cable assembly housing and inspect the cable for wear. Clean it with a solvent, lubricate it with a thin coat of all-purpose grease, and slide the cable back into the housing.

Internal Battery The internal battery is a sealed lead-acid battery that is maintenance-free. However, you must recharge it regularly, preferably after each battery-powered operation (refer to Operational Guidelinesin Chapter 2). The battery should be replaced every two years. Do not attempt to dismantle the Model 120D and replace the battery. The unit must be sent to Panex for this service. Refer to the front of this manual for addresses and telephone numbers.

Note

Recharge the internal battery after each use. Completely discharging the battery below 5VDC decreases the amount of time that the battery can hold a charge and reduces its life span. This usually occurs when the unit is stored in a discharged state. The unit continues to discharge even though the unit is shut off. Once the battery can no longer hold a charge, it must be replaced.
